Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boil Potatoes: Begin by placing the Yukon Gold potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cooking the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and allow them to cool slightly. |
| 2 | Prepare Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them if desired. Slice the potatoes into 1/3-inch rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl. |
| 3 | Add Herbs and Capers: To the bowl with the potatoes, add the chopped chives, scallions, fresh parsley, and drained capers. Toss gently to combine. |
| 4 | Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, a small splash of the caper liquid (for extra flavor), and Dijon mustard until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing is well emulsified. |
| 5 | Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to ensure each slice is coated. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary. |
| 6 | Serve: Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together. Serve as a side dish to complement your favorite main courses. Enjoy! |
Tips
- Customize the Herbs: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like dill or tarragon for a unique twist.
- Serve Warm or Cold: This salad can be served slightly warm or at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as it can dull the flavors.
- Make Ahead: The dressing can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
